Deadline 3/HW 3/Research Plan

After I decided on my research question I basically disected it into three general topics I would need information on to answer my question and make my theories. First, "Based on the Current Situation in Iran..." I need to understand the current situation. This is probably the biggest toppic. Through brainstorming I decided I needed information on seven things: the Iranian Government, the Iranian Millitary, Relationships Between Iran and Nearby Countries, the U.N. Attitude Toward Iran, and the U.S. attitude toward Iran (which directily has to do with Iran's Influence on Iraq), Where Iran's Nuclear Program Currently Is, and What Effect International Pressure is Having on Iran. Second, I need to look into the consequences of possible outcomes. A few I've thought of already are: Short Term Conflict (such as millitary strikes), Long Term Conflict (War), Iran Gives In, and the U.N. gives in. Finally, I need to look into what effects these Possible Outcomes could have on the American people. I've already found a google spree and pulled up a bunch of articles pertaining to these topics and put the links on my delicious. I've also made a rough Research-Note-Database-majig to hold my citations and notes in a semi-organized fashion. My next step will probably be to look through the articles I have and get rid of those either to old or lacking in credibility. Then I'll probably stick to the library resources to save time with finding credible sources. I've also downloaded an ebook I'll be taking a look at.
